Countdown to TWO, Brandon!

Dear Banjo,
Today, June 10th is your 23rd month birthday...which means in 1 month you will be TWO. It's hard to believe that you are not two yet. I keep thinking its not really possible to have a newborn and an almost two year old. But then I think back and when you were a newborn, and realize Nicky was only 14 months and littler than you are now. You have become such a smart and sassy little man, and while I reflect back on where time has gone, I want to share with you, how much I love the way you do the things you do...
...how you skip around the house with pure innocent joy
...how you say "no, no, no, mommy" when I ask you to so something in the cutest voice i've ever heard
...how you call Grandma Booba "Beeba"
...how you love to push your tea cart and your pink vaccum
...how you "dance" in circles and shake your bootie to the music
...how you hate commercials and ask me to fast forward
...how your pucker your lips like a fishy for a kiss
...how you say truck "fruck"
...how every color is Yellow
...how you love your daddy more than anything...
...but you may love Nicky more.
...that you have to go to bed with your blankey, milky, and about 18 nini's (still going strong)
...and how good you still are at bedtime
...when you throw a tantrum and fall dramatically to the floor
...when I give you a treat, you always have to have "two"
...how much you love lollipops or "pops"
...how your blond hair falls and gently curls around your ears
...how you can finally put 3 words together
...your energy and your fearlessness, but how you scream for Mommy when you see a bug (just like Nicky does)
...how you copy everything your older brother does
...and how you adore him with every fiber in your body
...and how amazed you are with Luke and kiss him constantly
...how you stand over the potty like your brother does, but haven't quite mastered it yet
...I love how when you talk, you sound like you have a french accent...
...or that you are speaking French
...when you solemnly nod your head yes or say YAH to whatever we ask you to do
...I love when you crawl into my lap and put your arms around me
...and I love when you are YOU

The Circus Came to Town for Nicky's 2nd Birthday!
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
It's been 2 days since the Circus left. Nicky is now TWO and no longer a baby. (I haven't stopped crying.) I have tissue pom poms all over my house and toy construction trucks everywhere. (thanks friends!) The "roller coaster" from Auntie Val is still in the front yard and Nicky is still on a sugar high. I can't thank everyone enough for coming to celebrate with Nicky. Until next year!!
2: Coming May 10th
Monday, April 19, 2010
In less that 3 weeks Nicky is turning 2 and the Circus shows up at my house. I am probably going overboard, but I am so excited to celebrate I really don't care. I have been browsing the internet for some great party ideas. I found some ideas on Birthday Girl's blog and scoured Etsy.com.
My friend Tara, who also took pictures of the boys in the bluebonnets, had a fabulous idea to take some "carnival-like" pictures and blow them up for the party.We took Nicky to Kiddie Acres yesterday for a little photoshoot. And he performed. And jumped. and ate lots of lollipops. I swear he takes after his mom and loves the attention! he was a little ham. I can't wait to see the pictures.
I happened to take a picture on my iPhone, mocked it up (Jess J- Cross Process!) and thought it would be fun to share. (His birthday is on the 10th, but Party on the 8th.)
Check back after his party to see my ideas and inspirations come to life! I can't wait to share his special day with family and friends!
These are the invitations I had made
I found this buffet table for inspiration and planning on some circus themed foods and concessions!
I also had some signs made to direct traffic and to point out the obvious ;)
and i am looking for ideas for the cake....

Dear Nickle Pickle,
April 10th was not only Brandon's 9th month Birthday, but your 23rd month Birthday too. You know what that means? It means you are 1 month away from being TWO! one. TWO. a BIG boy now. I still can't seem to wrap my head around it.While I ponder where the last 2 years have gone, I wanted to share with you, how much I love the way you do the things you do...
...dance with your whole body and wiggle your arms
...say good night to the moon before Bed
...when I sneeze you say "Achoo, Bless You"
...when you see Shauna you yell "Go Shauna, Uoh Es Ay" like that's her name.
...that you know the difference between a Dump Truck, Garbage Truck, and Tractor and specifically the little white and orange ones are Bobcats
...how you will only dress in clothes that have a tractor, car, dump truck on them. Or when I tell you that Tractor Drivers wear seersucker, polos, etc.
...how you say Yes "Yesth"
...how you call Roxy "Foxy" and Zeus "Zeusy"
...how you love new shoes, especially ones that light up, your rain boots, and your crocs
...when you swim in the tub
...when you get soaked in the sprinkler...and drink from the hose
...that you know what a booger and a fart is
...how excited you get when you pee in the potty and run naked into the kitchen looking for a Potty Candy
...how you trick us by sitting on the potty, only to jump up and run naked into the kitchen for a Potty Candy
...how you count to 20, but when you get to 16, you say it 2 more times, then 19, 2. And you are SO proud!
...how we do "a Family roll call" at dinner, in the car, before bed. You name all the family (sometimes classmates too), and we have to say Yes, Nicky
...how you call your pacifier Nini and your Angel Dear blankes Bays
...how when we ask you, you will hug and kiss Brandon
...how marshmallows will make you do anything we want...even if it takes 180 of them
...how excited you get when you see water, birds, bus, bubbles,Elmo, ErnieandBert (they have become one word), a Jeep, the lake, Nemo, Puppies, Percy
...how you love Gina D...and you just might be the only one
...how you hate bugs and spiders...and how you tell me to "get them" when you see ants
...how you you mimic me and call Daddy, "Dan, Babe, and Honey" and unfortunately a couple crap, crap, craps...and even an OH Shit last week. (I know its terrible)
...when you run up and hug me when I pick you up
...when you smile at me
...when you are YOU.
there is another 100 things I could add to this list. I will save them for another rainy day
and finally here is a pictures from aYear Ago today ...
